Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,527 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,527 m of the 2,492 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 803 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at RJTH Hachijojima Airport, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 08, with the takeoff distance being 329 meters, which is 17% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 22°C and wind blowing at 17 knots from a direction of 220°. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the tailwind was 15 knots. After departing from RJTH Hachijojima Airport, the enroute climb started 1 mile east of the airport, with the aircraft climbing from an altitude of 1,153 feet above sea level to 17,226 feet above sea level, an increase of 16,074 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 29 miles south east of RJTQ Miyakejima Airport and lasted for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 69 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 36 miles south east of Katsuura, descending from 16,802 feet above sea level to 7,016 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,786 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again 4 miles south west of Katsuura and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles.
The final descent started 5 miles east of Ichihara, with the aircraft descending from 7,000 feet above sea level to 608 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,392 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 22 at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport was made from the north east, with the aircraft heading 214.0° at 2 nautical miles and 573 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 22, which has a length of 2,492 meters. The threshold height at 87 feet above ground level was significantly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 131 knots. The touchdown point was 379 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with the touchdown speed being 124 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -460 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 20°C and wind blowing at 16 knots from a direction of 199°, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 16 knots. The total landing distance was 1,438 meters, which is 58% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking area took 8 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 188 nautical miles, taking 54 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,761 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Tokyo Haneda International Airport's runway 22, achieving an overall score of 85.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 214.0° at 2 nautical miles and 573 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with a good threshold speed of 131 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
However, there were some areas for improvement. The threshold height at 87 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high during the approach. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 124 knots was a little fast, which could have contributed to the hard touchdown rate of -460 feet per minute (fpm). A touchdown speed of around 120-125 knots is generally considered acceptable, but anything above 130 knots can be considered too fast.
Despite these minor issues, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained good control and alignment during the approach. The local weather conditions were also favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a headwind of 16 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
The crosswind component was relatively low at 4 knots, which made the landing even easier. The total landing distance of 1,438 meters was 58% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's weight and the weather conditions. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilots maintained good control and alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of threshold height and touchdown speed. With some adjustments to the approach and landing technique, the pilots can aim to achieve an even higher score and a more precise landing.
